Jason Momoa turned his 1920s Rolls Royce into an electric beast

The Rolls Royce Phantom II is a motorsport gem created in 1929 and of very few functional examples. If we could see what this myth can do in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusadeimagine what his 2024 version is capable of: this is a unique copy, the same one as the main character Aquaman was converted into an electric car. Actor Jason Momoa, who gained international fame as the leader of the Dothraki people in Game of Thronesboasts the most exclusive frames in the world: for 18 months, the specialized Electrogenic factory worked to realize the dream of Khal Drogo.

This historical model is not just a whim of a lover of free living and eco-friendliness: Momoa plans to include it in the second season of the series. On my way, Max, a new platform from HBO and Warner Bros.-owned Discovery+, sees the actor travel across the U.S. to explore the lives of creative innovators, from athletes and musicians to motorcycle makers and car restaurateurs. No doubt this freedom project on wheels will help him better cope with his breakup with Lisa Bonet, with whom he lived for 18 years and had two children.

The 1929 Phantom II has a giant 7.7-liter inline-six engine, but its electric powertrain is now silent thanks to a 93-kWh battery and 201-hp electric motor. “It means honoring the old car without losing its character.” As such, this century-old Phantom II retains the original HJ Mulliner & Co. bodywork. and other timeless features, but now includes a quiet, zero-emissions electric powertrain, high-quality HiFi speakers and Bluetooth technology. “This is the most difficult problem we have ever solved,” said Steve Drummond, director of Electrogenic.
